Key Challenges
Complex and logistically difficult installation methodology
Totally bespoke glass and steel design – no proprietary products
Extremely challenging programme dates
Triple glazed solar control panels
Units structurally bonded to stainless steel frame using 'Dow Corning' structural two part silicone.
Working with the architect at planning stage, Glass Structures Limited submitted a pc sum to the client for the required works. We were appointed to the project and worked with the architect to come up with some provisional designs.
The Brief
Our Approach
Glass Structures attended a site meeting to undertake a 3D survey. We then proceeded to produce 3D drawings to ensure the design of the Triple Glazed Units would work with the fall of the steel. Having provided full structural calculations we proceeded to manufacture.
Having craned the glass onto the roof area, our fully trained structural glazing operatives manually manoeuvred the units into position.
The Result
Now fully complete, the project looks highly impressive and have made the clients & Architects vision a reality.
The use of the glazing allows natural light to flood the building enhancing productivity within the offices. With the right preparation, planning and design; we were able to achieve perfection.
